Torino Jackson is a tall powerful middle forward with excellent leverage at 189cm in 101kg. Torino Jackson also has strong lower body drive to consistently win in contact and bend the defensive line. Torino Jackson also has an explosive first step and late footwork when running the ball with Torino Jackson using this late footwork at the defensive line to destabilise defenders.
Torino Jackson also has a high stamina rate and maintains his work rate deep in matches and has been extremely durable since signing with the Titans. Torino Jackson’s technical skill set incorporates elite post contact metres and has been one of the most dominant ball carrying middles in junior and School Boy rugby league since arriving in Australia in 2024. Torino Jackson regularly produces a high volume of carries in yardage sets.
From a ball playing perspective Torino Jackson is an above average passer for his position and is comfortable in engaging the defensive line and distributing to the edges. Torino Jackson is extremely effective in structured shape and second phase play.
Torino Jackson has developed into a mature, composed leader who understands game flow and selects his carries smartly and knows when to push for metres against a quick recycle of possession. Torino Jackson leads through physical presence, consistency and work ethic. Torino Jackson also has a high motor and rarely takes a play off and has performed at a high level regardless of the quality of opponent.
Torino Jackson is an ideal system fit in power based forward packs, teams requiring a ball playing middle, a high tempo yardage focused system and a defensive grinding team requiring a reliable anchor.
Torino Jackson has a high tackle efficiency and has a strong contact technique and is rarely dominated in collusion. Torino Jackson also reads ruck tempo will in a strong middle third defensive system.
Torino Jackson is able to engage and defeat opposing attacker one on one regardless of size. Torino Jackson does not just charge up trying to hit attacker’s chest on but Torino Jackson is clinical about how and where he hits the opponent and sets a solid base with his legs and drives directly into their body. In short Torino Jackson is a difference marker with his defence. With his strength and technique Torino Jackson should likely always be considered a plus defender regardless of the quality of opponent that he is up against.
Even though Torino Jackson does not necessarily have plus straight speed overall, Torino Jackson’s lateral movement is very good and on the majority of occasions Torino Jackson is able to mirror the movement of smaller attackers looking to exploit a perceived speed and/or mobility difference between them and Torino Jackson.
Torino Jackson took a major step forward in 2026, beginning the year as a member of the Tweed Heads Seagulls U19 MM Cup squad for the second consecutive season. Torino Jackson’s retention in that squad reflected both his rapid development and the high regard in which he is held by the Seagulls and the Titans pathways system. Once the 2026 MM Cup campaign concludes, Torino Jackson progressed into the Titans U21 NRLQ squad for their expanded season. In fact, given his physical profile and rate of improvement, it would not be surprising in the slightest if Torino Jackson forces his way into Queensland Cup contention and makes a late season debut for Tweed Heads before the 2026 year is out.
What makes Torino Jackson such an exciting prospect is the rare blend of athletic qualities he possesses. If one were designing a prototype for the modern front‑rower, he would look very much like Torino Jackson. Torino Jackson has size, length, and natural strength, combined with impressive speed, agility, and explosive power. Even more promising is the fact that Torino Jackson is still physically maturing, meaning all of these attributes have significant room for further development, his athletic ceiling is extraordinarily high.
But Torino Jackson is far more than just an athlete, his rugby league instincts and technical skill set are advancing at a remarkable pace for someone so early in their career. Torino Jackson has a strong understanding of how to engage defenders, when to accelerate into contact, and how to manipulate the ruck to his team’s advantage. One of Torino Jackson’s most exciting emerging weapons is his one‑arm offload, most commonly with his right arm which he executes with confidence and accuracy. This ability to promote second phase play adds a layer of unpredictability to his carries and makes him a constant threat to opposition defensive lines.
Defensively, Torino Jackson is equally impressive. Torino Jackson hits hard, tackles with sound technique, and consistently wins the contact battle. Torino Jackson’s front‑on tackling style is authoritative and reliable, and he shows a willingness to work through long defensive sequences without dropping intensity. When you combine his defensive commitment with his attacking upside, you get a front‑rower with genuine elite potential.
A fitting comparison for Torino Jackson is New Zealand international and Canberra Raiders star Joseph Tapine, one of the premier front‑rowers in the world. Like Tapine, Torino Jackson is incredibly difficult to bring to ground, often requiring multiple defenders to halt his momentum. Torino Jackson’s quick play‑the‑balls create immediate opportunities for his team’s playmakers, allowing them to attack a retreating defensive line. Also mirroring Tapine’s style, Torino Jackson contributes heavily in both yardage and defensive workload while still offering a damaging wider‑channel presence through his offloads, footwork, and tackle‑breaking ability.
Perhaps the most remarkable part of Torino Jackson’s story is how new he is to the sport. The fact that he had played just one year of rugby league before securing a three‑year contract with the Titans is almost unheard of. It speaks volumes about his natural talent, his adaptability, and the enormous potential that coaches and scouts see in him.
Torino Jackson is not just a promising young forward, he is a genuine long‑term prospect with the physical tools, skill set, and developmental trajectory to become a high‑impact NRL front‑rower. Torino Jackson’s rise has been rapid, and all signs suggest it is only just beginning.
In late 2025 Torino Jackson was named as a 2026 Titans Train and Trial player to gain valuable experience with the Titans NRL squad.

Torino Jackson is a tall powerful middle forward with excellent leverage at 189cm in 101kg. Torino Jackson also has strong lower body drive to consistently win in contact and bend the defensive line. Torino Jackson also has an explosive first step and late footwork when running the ball with Torino Jackson using this late footwork at the defensive line to destabilise defenders.
Torino Jackson also has a high stamina rate and maintains his work rate deep in matches and has been extremely durable since signing with the Titans. Torino Jackson’s technical skill set incorporates elite post contact metres and has been one of the most dominant ball carrying middles in junior and School Boy rugby league since arriving in Australia in 2024. Torino Jackson regularly produces a high volume of carries in yardage sets.
From a ball playing perspective Torino Jackson is an above average passer for his position and is comfortable in engaging the defensive line and distributing to the edges. Torino Jackson is extremely effective in structured shape and second phase play.
Torino Jackson has developed into a mature, composed leader who understands game flow and selects his carries smartly and knows when to push for metres against a quick recycle of possession. Torino Jackson leads through physical presence, consistency and work ethic. Torino Jackson also has a high motor and rarely takes a play off and has performed at a high level regardless of the quality of opponent.
Torino Jackson is an ideal system fit in power based forward packs, teams requiring a ball playing middle, a high tempo yardage focused system and a defensive grinding team requiring a reliable anchor.
Torino Jackson has a high tackle efficiency and has a strong contact technique and is rarely dominated in collusion. Torino Jackson also reads ruck tempo will in a strong middle third defensive system.
Torino Jackson is able to engage and defeat opposing attacker one on one regardless of size. Torino Jackson does not just charge up trying to hit attacker’s chest on but Torino Jackson is clinical about how and where he hits the opponent and sets a solid base with his legs and drives directly into their body. In short Torino Jackson is a difference marker with his defence. With his strength and technique Torino Jackson should likely always be considered a plus defender regardless of the quality of opponent that he is up against.
Even though Torino Jackson does not necessarily have plus straight speed overall, Torino Jackson’s lateral movement is very good and on the majority of occasions Torino Jackson is able to mirror the movement of smaller attackers looking to exploit a perceived speed and/or mobility difference between them and Torino Jackson.
Torino Jackson took a major step forward in 2026, beginning the year as a member of the Tweed Heads Seagulls U19 MM Cup squad for the second consecutive season. Torino Jackson’s retention in that squad reflected both his rapid development and the high regard in which he is held by the Seagulls and the Titans pathways system. Once the 2026 MM Cup campaign concludes, Torino Jackson progressed into the Titans U21 NRLQ squad for their expanded season. In fact, given his physical profile and rate of improvement, it would not be surprising in the slightest if Torino Jackson forces his way into Queensland Cup contention and makes a late season debut for Tweed Heads before the 2026 year is out.
What makes Torino Jackson such an exciting prospect is the rare blend of athletic qualities he possesses. If one were designing a prototype for the modern front‑rower, he would look very much like Torino Jackson. Torino Jackson has size, length, and natural strength, combined with impressive speed, agility, and explosive power. Even more promising is the fact that Torino Jackson is still physically maturing, meaning all of these attributes have significant room for further development, his athletic ceiling is extraordinarily high.
But Torino Jackson is far more than just an athlete, his rugby league instincts and technical skill set are advancing at a remarkable pace for someone so early in their career. Torino Jackson has a strong understanding of how to engage defenders, when to accelerate into contact, and how to manipulate the ruck to his team’s advantage. One of Torino Jackson’s most exciting emerging weapons is his one‑arm offload, most commonly with his right arm which he executes with confidence and accuracy. This ability to promote second phase play adds a layer of unpredictability to his carries and makes him a constant threat to opposition defensive lines.
Defensively, Torino Jackson is equally impressive. Torino Jackson hits hard, tackles with sound technique, and consistently wins the contact battle. Torino Jackson’s front‑on tackling style is authoritative and reliable, and he shows a willingness to work through long defensive sequences without dropping intensity. When you combine his defensive commitment with his attacking upside, you get a front‑rower with genuine elite potential.
A fitting comparison for Torino Jackson is New Zealand international and Canberra Raiders star Joseph Tapine, one of the premier front‑rowers in the world. Like Tapine, Torino Jackson is incredibly difficult to bring to ground, often requiring multiple defenders to halt his momentum. Torino Jackson’s quick play‑the‑balls create immediate opportunities for his team’s playmakers, allowing them to attack a retreating defensive line. Also mirroring Tapine’s style, Torino Jackson contributes heavily in both yardage and defensive workload while still offering a damaging wider‑channel presence through his offloads, footwork, and tackle‑breaking ability.
Perhaps the most remarkable part of Torino Jackson’s story is how new he is to the sport. The fact that he had played just one year of rugby league before securing a three‑year contract with the Titans is almost unheard of. It speaks volumes about his natural talent, his adaptability, and the enormous potential that coaches and scouts see in him.
Torino Jackson is not just a promising young forward, he is a genuine long‑term prospect with the physical tools, skill set, and developmental trajectory to become a high‑impact NRL front‑rower. Torino Jackson’s rise has been rapid, and all signs suggest it is only just beginning.
